Nolan,
You wouldn't be interested in getting your wheel recovered to match the rest of your interior, would you? I've got enough red leather left to do one more of these:

Hi!

Well, I have finally pulled the trigger and am having a swap done to my 88 GT. Here's the victim:




I had intended to do this swap in my previous 87 GT as shown in this thread: Sourmug's Decklid Vent Build

Alas, it was not to be as I bit off more than I could chew at the time. Having learned from that experience (who said an old dog can't learn new tricks? ) I started to investigate who would be qualified as a potential installer. I have had good recommendations from a number of forum members concerning fieroking (Joe Sokol) and his attention to detail so I contacted Joe last year. After a number of e-mails and phone conversations I was very impressed with what I was hearing and so my wife and I paid Joe a visit to meet him and discuss what I would like to have done. Joe is a heck of a nice person and he answered all my questions and I have decided that he is the one who will do the work.

Over the last 6 months or so I have been collecting parts and have been sending them to Joe and yesterday I drove my car down to Couer d'Alene Idaho to begin the swap. As of right now my car is sitting snug at his place and the work will commence in a week or so:


Here is the engine that will be going in:



The engine is a zero mile GM replacement engine that I purchased on E-Bay and it's been sitting at Joe's place all winter and the suspense has been killing me, it felt like winter was never going to end...

Here are the plans:

1. Engine swap, obviously, OBD II PCM
2. Engine bay clean up
3. Battery relocation to the front
4. Powder coating on the engine, cradle and suspension.
5. Ceramic coating the exhaust.
6. Rear coil overs and new front shocks - KYB
7. Power steering - I know it's blasphemy, but hey, it's my car
8. Side scoops

I will provide updates when I can as Joe's place is 7 hours away from me. (Joe this means you'll have to update me too )

I'm all giddy as a school girl.

Nolan
